The death of William B. Ogden, of Chicago, is likely to have considerable influence on the fortunes of base-ball in New York. The Union Grounds, long known as the finest in some respects in the country, belonged to him and are now in the hands of his executors. They find it necessary to offer the land for sale under the terms of the will, and cannot give a lease for any definite time. For this reason it seems doubtful whether Ferguson can hope for any success in keeping up a good team when he is likely to have his grounds sold out from under him at any time.
